Tunis City.
Inside the Ksar Hellal Palace, Bey Hamouda Ali listened to the battle reports from the front lines, his brows lifted in delight.
At first, when he learned that Eunice had truly returned to Tunisia, he was genuinely frightened for a while, but fortunately, his beloved Hafsa was exceptionally clever, predicting that Eunice would take the risk of launching a surprise attack on Kairouan.
Under his orders, Koja prepared in advance and indeed achieved a great victory, capturing and killing thousands of rebels.
Several officials in the great hall immediately offered up flattery:
"With the great Bey cleaning up these rebels, isn't it just a piece of cake?"
"The Lord blesses the Bey, making his armies invincible in battle!"
"After eliminating Eunice, the people of Algiers won't be able to extort our annual tributes anymore!"
After Ali returned to the harem in high spirits, eager to tell Hafsa about the great victory.
